By the way, how many of the elite are Christians. They should straight away renounce Christianity as it is full of Western values.

What a load of humbug, bullshit, clap-trap and unadulterated stupidity, ignorance and bigotry

Arrogant fools. Im getting the msg of him boasting “asian values” supremacy? And trying to justify the PAP’s regime???

Boy, i wouldnt be surprised if he was paid to said that! (if not brain dead brainwashed)

Im sick of their shit. Even YPAP’s spouting them. Sick of it!

1) Emperor will have thousands of consort

2) To keep those young under-sexed consort, emperor will need thousands of Eunuch.

3) Emperor is able to murder up to 10th extended families when he is not happy with someone.

4) The Emperor can humiliate his subjects by mandating all female kins to be prostitute

4) All woman must self injured their feet till crippled to create 3 inch lotus.

5) Capital punishment may mean slow death of 3 days and 10 000 cuts.

I want to thank all western colonial power who invade China. Because of them, Chinese are finally freed from evils.

It is not the eastern values region is China but Hong Kong, the most westernized that is the most prosperous.

IT IS THEIR SONS WHO GO TO THESE SCHOOLS. HOW TO EMULATE THE BRITISH EDUCATED MR LEES ?

For all their education, none of these people have the moral fibre nor the testicular fortitude to step forward and be counted.

In fact, the so-called Asian values are nothing more than Sino-centric ideas propagated by dictators who are keen to hold on to power. The most vocal proponents of Asian values used to be LKY and Dr. M, who used confucian emphasis on repect and authority to ensure that people remain subservient. Outside of SEA, I’ve never heard anyone talking about Asian values. Maybe because it’s really nothing more than propaganistic BS, heh?

Everything is about money and power in Asian values, what values? It is almost dynastic.

Why then does the Government/PAP send so many scholars to Cambridge, Oxford, Harvard, Stanford and MIT? Does not make any sense at all. Hypocricy? Stupidity? Suckers for punishment?

Why are we relying on the US military umbrella? Why do we have a naval base just for the US? Why are we relying on trading with the US? Why are we allowing US television and Hollywood to brainwash us and our young? And why does the MOE keep bringing in de Bono, an American, to show our principals and teachers how to be creative? Why did we even think about appointing an American to run Temasek?

We are bonkers and two-faced, that’s why! We are now incapable of thinking, of separating the wheat from the chaff. We are simply running with the line: East good, West bad. We Asians have all the virtues and the West has all the vices.

I say, put your money where your mouth is and tell all Westerners/ex-colonialists to get off the Singapore bus. We do not wish to be contaminated.

And, yes, we will ban all Singaporeans from entering the Miss Universe and Miss World contests – degnerate, degrading and disgraceful Western nonsense. We do not need them. We would rather starve!

Consider the problem of 忠. What does 忠 mean to you? It might mean: climbing the rungs of the social ladder because you fear disappointing your parents. It might mean: making an decent income so you can retire them in luxury. It might mean: doing well in your ‘A’ levels so that your parent’s money spent on your precious education is not in vain … it’s going to an ivy league university … getting a government scholarship … it means everything except any resembling authentic, TRUE human values, PURE love and compassion!!

Look at the 农历新年. What is it to you? It has become nothing more than a farce, a shadow of what it used to be. Oh, How we resent those idle conversations! How you resent that smug look on Uncle Chee’s eye when he says “but I’m sending MY SON overseas to OXFORD!”, and you have no wry rebuttal except “er … good for u”. And to those who can’t stand the idle chatter, we take great lengths to avoid it … let’s plan a trip to malaysia! that’s got to be better than visiting your own brother!! And we wonder what is the cause of this plague is of emptiness! And we wonder where our true, beautiful “ASIAN” values have gone! No wonder everyone here’s so nihilistic about these matters.

It all works SO well, doesn’t it, till it is your turn to endure that dark night of the soul – retrenchment, death, bankruptcy, cancer, debt, a car accident, the strange and terrible card which life deals to you with no warning, and all of a sudden you discover that you’re all alone in that ‘A’-class ward (I mean, you can afford good healthcare after all), bored and wondering if anyone really gave a shit about you in the first place. Perhaps your children come, but they don’t stay long. They have tuition classes to go to. Perhaps your friends visit, and give you a few get-well-soon cards, but they have work to go back to. And between the meaningless visits, now fewer and farther between, you are simply floating in limbo, englulfed by the sense of darkness and emptiness … all those channels you’ve upgraded to aren’t worth watching … all the toys you bought suddenly are no longer fun to play … and you can’t help but wonder just what the fuck went wrong.

PAP Smear = Old Cancer
YPAP Smear = New Cancer

Conclusion: Both deadly. Both has to go. End of discussion.

He happily mixes up their prior actions as colonialists and their violence as masters with their “freedom” and “human rights” which at the best were concepts applicable only to the members of their elite at that time.

I find it ironic that where our ancestors were once victims of repression (to varying degrees) and humiliated by the absence of these concepts, people like Mr Ho would push for the their rejection.

Then again, it may not be surprising, given how some people in the “west” do actually fight against these values, convinced of their own superiority. This is not merely an “east” vs “west” thing.

Please tell us more about Asian values and Asian way of life.

Seriously, are you still wet behind the ears?

Please pay heed to the comments posted here; they are suggestive of your mental immaturity or ignorance.

No, I never wondered because ‘Asian values’ and ‘way of life’ are MYTHS. Yes, MYTHS! You will find shoes, eggs, stones all flying your way if anyone preaches these in the West.

The observation has been made that it is those countries in the West, who were former colonisers of countries in Asia (now the govt of singapore), and who robbed lands belonging to others (the state land Act, exhorbitant cost of public services, high prices of new HDB flats etc), suppressing the native inhabitants of the lands they conquered (opposition members who was hounded out of the country and families threatened), and stealing their valuable resources (imposing fines that was meant to destroy them) to fuel their own industrialization (ambition of total control) now condescendingly want to teach us how to govern ourselves following their model wholesale (effectively meaning a puppet democracy with power lies in the hands of a few is better off for singaporeans)

One thing there have in common. All send their scions to study in western countries, nevermind someone else son be suicide bomber or starve to death in famine or pay $300 000 HDB.

If democracy is evil why Loong study in harvard and cambridge, Syria’s assad in UK, Fat Kim Son all in switzerland and Lee Hong Yi now in MIT.

There must be something wrong.

Singaporean is not going to be duped into all this bullshit. We are not going to believe what PAP told us. We are going to boot out PAP, who do not put their sons where their mouth is.

In this age of globalisation, are there still things as asian or western? I’m an Earthling, I don’t care whether it’s asian or western, as long as it’s from the Earth and more importantly – it works!

Ho…go read the book again, if you do not understand ask someone to explain.

Then Ghandi was fighting for independence for India, he was not against their (The British) culture or ideas or for that matter values.
Ghandi just wanted to show that India could survive without the British, however, he himself was flawed in certain areas.

Ho, please don’t twist dead peoples words.

Ho, please read East & West by Chris Patten, he would give you a clear picture of where we all meet.
In the meantime, don’t try to be colourful when you do not know jack sh*t about Western Liberal Demoracy and for that matter Asian Values itself.
